    Could be. That's a good question. In my opinion, it's getting through and enjoying life in style.

      Man's man =

      Qualities:

      Intergrity

      Courage (sometimes courage means being able to go out on limbs iwth your emotions, as well as being able to fight for what you beleive in)

      Physical strength in a way that is not shallow.

      Able to take the lead with a strong woman.

      Not afraid of strong women, and knows how to make a woman feel like a woman, without feeling like an object.

      Knows all about the power of eye-contact.

      Patient, but fierce.

      Romantic and not ashamed of it.

      hmmm...what else?

        ZZ - (very happy you came here as well!!!)

        You ALWAYS sum it right up for me - I'm trying to think of one more quality that makes a man - a Man......

        -Independence & not afraid of a strong woman who is very much so independent~

        -Passion- on so many levels....Kind & considerate...also to include MANNERS!

        INTEGRITY, hands down - #1!

        I think that Zig is answering the question, what makes a womans man.

        Men don't care if another man is patient or romantic or has integrity. Those are all things a woman looks for.

        A man's man has a loud voice, is commanding in a room, knows the best sports picks, looks slick, but not attractive. Tall. Never backs down from an argument, and can drink alot of beer.

        Just me 2 cents.

          Confident without being overbearing,
          knowledgable without being a know all,
          courageous without being violent,
          can hold his drink...

          Man's man, not a yobbo or a lager lout.

          i.e. brains, brawn and a liver of steel ;)

        In England it's an expression for a Valet.

        You learn something new every day.

        If we're talking about what makes a man's man, I'd throw a bit of wisdom and common sense into ZigZag's mix as well. A man's man is nobody's fool.

          So, my next question is.....

          Why are there so few of them floating around the country ? To find A Man....are they a dying breed?

            yes, we are a dying breed, this country has lost its defining roles, we no longer understand what makes a man a MAN or a woman a WOMAN, these terms have lost their meanings, and the lines have been blurred. Nowadays, a man cannot be difined by his work, men are always doing what used to be called, "womans work" and can still be seen as men, men are encouraged to" show their feelings" and to express themselves in ways that are more feminine. NOw im mnot saying this is "wrong" or "right" im merely saying what i have observed over the years and having done extensive research on the topic these are some of my findings. we ARE a dying breed, because our society has , in large part, made it almost shamefull to be defined in the old ways. In bygone years, a man could be seen by his peers as a MAN, by having a hard physical job, must support his woman, and his children, by being a very responsible person, financially and otherwise, his word was his bond, his physical build, you werent a man if you were a 90lb weakling, his virility, and yes, sadly, the size of his dick, mong other things. Now, every thing that defined MEN, can be bought at a drugstore, confidence in a can, viagra, bodybuilder shakes,weight loss weight gain, a mans job can be done by women , sometimes better than the men, firefighters, martial artist, boxers, presidnts of major corporations, etc etc etc. we have to redifine what makes a man aMAN, its all up in the air now. Its up to the coming generations to learn how best to define a gender, or even IF we should, we have so many genders now, ( which is FINALLY on a par with the rest of the world, they have five genders, usually) gayman, lesbian,( which can be best understood by accepting the spirit as having a gender, thus: physical male, +spiritual female= gay man, while physical female, +spiritual male, = lesbian, plus transgendered, transexual,intersexed, etc etc etc) that we cant keep track, lol. BUt to me, the mans MAN can be defined as , having courage, being responsible in thought word and deed, supporting his dependants, kind and gentle when possible, and capable of violence when needed, he doesnt back down, but doesnt start needless confrontation,he doesnt act to preserve his precious ego, he acts to preserve his precious honor, and is willing to die for it, he knws that there is something more valuable then himself, something he can and WILL die for, his children, or his wife, or his beliefs. there are many other little things in my opinion that define a man, but they mostly fall under those three headings, , responsible, and courageous, and humble .

                  Nah. Man's man, not male slapper - unless of course your idea of a man's man is some guy who's the communal bike for the local cheerleading squad.

                  Although now that I think about it, surely a man's man would be defined by something more than just the girls he 'gets'?

                    Let's damn well hope so amigo !!!!

                    And no worries...I was talking about all THE girls...not about just any girl....being a cheerleader or not...all THE girls, doesn't mean they have to show up in quantities with 6 zero's. Maybe for some that's just the 1...or maybe just those 3 women that are very special in someone's life...as long as we walk into THOSE few specials....that's more what I meant than pokin' in anything that moves with a set of titties....
